Abstract. This paper presents a framework of specification and verification for distributed real-time object-oriented systems. An earlier paper [17] introduced a process calculus...
Abstract. In this paper we describe an approach to the representation and implementation of agent-based systems where the behaviour of an individual agent is represented by a set o...
This paper considers distributed systems, defined as a collection of components interacting through interfaces. Components, interfaces and distributed systems are modeled as Petri...
Complete algorithms have been proposed to solve problems modelled as distributed constraint optimization (DCOP). However, there are only few attempts to address real world scenari...
Decentralized Markov decision processes are frequently used to model cooperative multi-agent systems. In this paper, we identify a subclass of general DEC-MDPs that features regul...
